Endless Montage (Beyond Naqoyqatsi)

Watching the sequal to Yoyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi. Naqoyqatsi, the endless montage of ‘Life at War’, written and directed by Godfrey Reggio I noticed references to BAD IDEA. (see the list of ‘Visual Correlations’ below).

Visual correlations include the from top, left: (1) institution and memorialisation, (2) decorative features and juxtaposed furniture as a weapon to subvert and soften modernity’s dehumanising, (3) machine aesthetic, (4) overt use of vector graphics, (5) eclectic content, (6) the collective voice of external support (7) vastness and saturation of image filling the frame – and a lack of white space.
